Best Friends !!

Kaden, Jaxon and I took a quick trip to CA in August to visit our great friends, Jen, Paul, Brooke and Brandon. Jeff had two free tickets that had to be used by Sept 1st and the two places we could fly was either San Diego or Ontario. Lucky for me I was able to use the tickets, (thanks Jeff) and take a quick trip with the boys. Kaden called it our Adventure !! It was great to see our friends and the kids had a blast playing together. Kaden and Brooke loved driving each other around in Brooke's pink jeep, it even had a stereo in it. Kaden thought it was pretty cool. They also spent a lot of time in the jump house. As you can see from the pictures they really had a great time together. It was great to be able to see my sweet friend Jen. She and I met when I lived in Murrieta and we had our first kids within a few weeks of each other. We met at a breastfeeding support group of all things and then I ran into her again when the kids were about 3 months old at our Pediatricians office. We think it must have been fate. Sometime it feels like we have been friends forever. Now we each have two kids, Brooke and Kaden are 3 1/2, Brandon is just over one and Jaxon is 9 months. Hard to believe it, but we survived the first one and actually decided to have another one. Jen and I were reminiscing about when Brooke and Kaden were little and Brooke was a terror and Kaden was so mellow. Now the second time around I have the terror and she has the more mellow one. Brandon is such a cutie !! Don't you just love those cheeks !! It was so great to see the kids together. Kaden and Brooke both said that they were each others best friends. Just like their mommies !! Jen and I actually had an afternoon without the kids thanks to her nanny, Shannon. We had some fantastic sushi, great conversation (uninterrupted), manicure, pedicure, and a frappachino from Starbucks. Need I say more !!! I had such a great time that Jeff was sure that I was not going to come home !! It was a short, but very fun trip. I actually got to see a couple of friends and their kids as well, my girlfriend Gina has a son, Troy that is Kaden's age and a little boy Grant that just turned one. Jenny has two little girls Mia, 3 and Lyndee just turned one as well. It was great being able to catch up with each of them. I am glad that I was able to meet such great women when I lived in CA. So with this post I say, here is to great life long friends !! :)
